At Coachella, it’s impossible to be everywhere at once. Stay on the pulse of what’s happening throughout the weekend with our social media guide.

First, start following.

Social media sites

Before your caravan rolls up to Indio, get real-time updates by following Coachella on their social media sites.

Twitter: @coachella

Instagram: @coachella

Facebook: facebook.com/coachella

YouTube: youtube.com/coachella. The Coachella YouTube channel will be streaming live performances from the first weekend, April 11-13, in case you’re stuck at home or just recovering in your hotel.

During the second weekend, cable channel AXS TV will broadcast 20 hours of live coverage, complete with artist interviews and select performance footage.

Hashtag galore

Next, get the hashtags down.

Use hashtags on Twitter and Instagram to hype up the #Coachella buzz. Top tags for this year’s festival include:

#CoachellaFashion

Apps

Then, download the apps.

There’s an official Coachella App that can be downloaded on iPhone and Android devices. You can use it to keep track of the schedule, access the venue map and get more festival info.

Cellphone

Finally, save the cellular. With all of this social media action, it’s likely your phone will die before you’re ready to leave. Save battery by turning off Wi-Fi and apps when not in use. Charging stations are few and far between, so don’t rely on much power once you’re there. Phone loss seems to be a common trend here, too. Download Find My iPhone or Where’s My Droid in advance to track lost or stolen phones.
